Chicken door closed. It will slide open and that part hanging past the coop will be outside the chicken yard.

Chicken door in open position.

Future roosts!

See those hinges? Those make this panel on the backside of the coop flip up. Why do you ask? So, I can sweep out the coop of course. G is checking out the chicken door on the north side of the coop. That's for chicken tractor access.

Hey, look we already have a rooster! Oops, that's just G, he's growing out his summer haircut.

I ORDERED MY CHICKS TODAY!!!!!!! I'm soooooo excited. On August 6th I become a chick mama. I can't wait, but I have to wait. :0( It seems so far away. Plenty of time to finish the coop and make a chicken tractor, right? My guess is, no. It will be here before I know it, I'm sure.

Windows went in today. We acquired these from some friends of my Step Mom. FOR FREE! We will be putting hardware cloth in there to keep my girls safe.

These will also have hardware cloth.

A view from the inside.

The other side.

Still lots to finish. Nest boxes, roosts, food and water station. As well as, the yard and a chicken tractor. And then the most exciting part....The actual chickens. Yeah, that would be good to have those.

Thanks to my good friend Frugalmom, the lillies abound in my flower beds this year. So, this photo montage goes out to her. She'll be getting some back this fall and her beds will be beautiful next year. And much more organized than mine!
